Check out the Service Announcements on MOL dated July 2, 2003. They are announcing that they have set a hard date after which Motorola will no longer service the ASTRO Saber!

Might still be a little time to dump your ASTRO Saber(s) on eBay, and upgrade to the still current/in production XTS radios.

Seems like the newer Motorola radios have an increasingly short half life---no longer like the good 'ol days of the Micors and MXs, and the like. I guess that's called "technology advancement!"

It would be helpful if you took the time to post the date...

WHy dump perfectly good radios when the intent of cancellation date usually means 7 years past that date for depot service and parts availability.

I believe the astro saber became a cancelled product as of last December.

And if the current stuff is so lousy - go buy MA/COM

Better radios

Support Cancellation for the Astro Saber is 6/1/2008, though its likely certain parts will start to become NLA before that if the trend that we are seeing continues..
